While the article at the source does not give the dog's breed, if you will watch the 42-second news vid at the link, one neighbor said it was a pit bull, but that the owner's husband said it was "not a pit bull, but a special type of hunting dog that is larger and stronger than a pit bull."

Totally avoidable. At least it was the adult owner that was target of the dog instead of a kid or neighbor.

Dago Argentino?

We adopted a 1.5 year old 140 pound Great Pyrenees male dog about six weeks ago. They’re not hunting dogs, they’re livestock guardians. This was basically this dogs last chance. When my son came home from college he didn’t accept him in his flock. Three weeks later they’re good now. The dog still hates “strangers”, i.e. anyone other than us but with crate training (was never a believer in it until now) he’s doing better and people are safe. He’s doing amazingly better in the six weeks we’ve had him. Six weeks is an important milestone for dogs. This dog is BIG and still growing. He’s amazingly fast and strong. Luckily he’s in a home where he’s in good hands that have a long history properly training dogs. That’s my rant. :)

Whether or not the dog in question which attacked its owner
is a “large pit bull” or a “pit-bull type” dog, “but larger and stronger”, possibly a Dogo Argentino, a Fila Braseiro, A Presario, or another “large pit-bull-type” breed, let us not loose sight of the fact that a large-scale breeding operation of these types of dogs has been taking place here, - ostensibly a commercial operation in a residential neighborhood - and one of the dogs has attacked and mauled its owner very badly.

This is happening way too often. We may just be grateful it was not a neighbor’s child, as too often that is the case.

The real story is the cops shot a dog and everybody is good with it. Kumbaya!

PIT BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was not immediately known what breed of dog was involved in the attack or were being kenneled at the site.

Probably a golden retriever or a Labrador.

Call me a wimp but I have no interest in owning a dog who has the power to hurt me at a moment’s notice. I’m pretty partial to wiener dogs, in fact.
